Oxenryd Song Quest 1

The Oxenryd Song Quest 1 was the first edition of the Oxenryd Song Quest, the national selection event to determine the Oxenri representative in the Maia Song Contest. It was hosted in Arceo, the capital of Oxenryd, in the Yilteva Stadium. The contest consisted of 10 songs, and the winner was selected to represent Oxenryd in the Maia Song Contest 1. All countries were invited to vote in the selection.

The winner was announced as SAFIA, with their song "Counting Sheep". The group received 73 points, beating second-placed Nina Kraljić and her song "Zaljuljali Smo Svijet" by 5 points. SAFIA received 2 sets of 12-points, the maximum possible, from Björnska and Dunwaye. This was considered controversial, as Nina Kraljić received 3 sets, including one from the home jury of Oxenryd. Ultimately, it was decided that the result was to remain valid, and SAFIA would be the final representative of Oxenryd at the contest.
